For the Polish pact: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German%E2%80%93Polish_Non-Aggr...

Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJwoygYdTmY is an exchange between Tusk and Putin on the topic. I haven't found a better video.

About the Molotov negotiation, it is in the book by Nikolai Starikov, Who set Hitler against Stalin?, (ISBN 978-5-496-00332-2). It is in Russian, unfortunately. Excerpts have been translated to English, the part I was talking about is here: https://orientalreview.org/2015/04/18/episode-15-poland-betr...

You're confusing non-aggression pacts with MR pact, which in fact DIVIDED Europe between two different dictators and basically lead to WW2.

Also that guy Starikov is nota a historian, but an ultra-right nationalist playing current Kremlin tune. So his "works" should be taken with a truckloads of salt.

Nice ad-hominem and credentialism you have there, do you have anything that refutes his points?

How about common sense?

Or you plan to detail the discussion by switching context to talking about far-right fiction?

Well, if it is a far-right fiction, it will be easy to refute it's point instead of ad-homineming the author, right?

Wrong. That would be derailing.

OK, I take is that you don't have any counterargument, but you refuse it based on ideology.

Have a nice day.
